5 1 2013 My second try recording

yea be sure to put that so no one else does it while your working. lol - jessicamccall117, Apr 30, 2013

Well you can see how long it took me to create the darn thing!! But I did have fun! I have trouble with the imperfect past, too. It sounds like I'm saying "Obama" which isn't what I want! I'll keep trying though! - bandit51jd, Apr 30, 2013

Yes, Obama's name does sound a little verbish. ;o) I guess we need to mark our places while we work. ha. - katydew, Apr 30, 2013

Good work. You may want to give the Ah syllable more stress on the imperfect. a-cu- chi- AH- ba- mos. - katydew, Apr 30, 2013

very good idea katy, so people like me and you don't do one at the same time. lol - jessicamccall117, Apr 30, 2013

Katy, I did give it a try. Does the imperfect sound any different? I don't think it's right yet, but I do appreciate the tip! - bandit51jd, May 1, 2013

I think that the 2nd one was even better. Well done. - katydew, May 1, 2013

Answer 10

25. acusar - to accuse

Yo acuso- I accuse

Yo acusaba-I accused

Yo acusé- I accused

Yo acusaré- I will accuse

My Vocaroo

Good work. I think the English translation for the preterit & imperfect would be, "accused" because 'have accused' would use haber and the participle = hube acusado; había acusado. - katydew, Apr 30, 2013

Thanks, I feel silly for over looking that. Is there a difference of when to use haber vs. tener? I rarely use haber. - jessicamccall117, Apr 30, 2013

Haber is the helping verb type of "have/has/had". Tener is the kind of have that you have it in your possession. Tener can also be translated as am/is/was/were in some instances like 'Tengo miedo"... I'm scared. - katydew, May 1, 2013

Jessica, type in "acusar' in the conjugator and scroll all the way down to perfect and perfect subjunctive. These all need haber in some form as they all need some type of helping verb, have/has/had in different tenses. - katydew, May 1, 2013

Gracias, Katy! - jessicamccall117, May 1, 2013

Answer 11
